50s Philco AM Radio

I have radio as mentioned . I need the model # if anyone knows it. Tube complement is 35Y3 7B7 7C6 I have not determined the pentagrid converter as either
14B8 or 14Q7 and the beam power pentode is probably a 35A5. It has a Baklite case and uses an electrodynamic
speaker. The dial face says "Transitone" but is not a car radio. The number on that dial face is 25-5572.
Any clues?

Hi Ray

Philco made a lot of radios using similar loctal tubes. Your radio could be from the 1940's? Check circuits for 42-706, 42-717. Schematics should be in Resources, above.
